With a block heater how arm should your engine be when starting it on a 30 Degree morning?
How long can you leave it plugged in--will it take 14 hours of being plugged in every winter night for 5 years?
Has anyone had problems with corrosion on the female part of the plug heater electric receptacle, which is on the Plug Heater?I replace my 20 year old heater because it was tarnished so badly, I thought there would be no way I could get a Ground for the Cord
I actually thought, when i put mine in, that when you started the car, the Heater would be toasty warm..not too smart, considering that the water pump isn't running yet, and that little heater element, no matter how robust, isn't the same thing as 5 or 6 cylinders thumping away at 3 grand RPM..
Finally, is it possible that coolant loss occurs when using one of these things? I havent done a pressure test or really investigated, but I notice I am losing coolant whenever I use the thing....
